The creator of the Cherokee alphabet (not of the font!) unfortunately did a
very lousy job, because most characters were obviously taken from the Latin
and Greek alphabets. However, even if the Cherokees originally didn't have
their own writing system, why should they be forced to adopt a European-based
alphabet, which is foreign in nature to them? This kind of alphabet could have
been developed in a few hours by anyone and lacks the feel of the centuries, of
Cherokee history. The Cherokees simply deserve much better, so I urge the Cherokee
developers and teachers to come up with something a lot more traditional and
stop teaching this white man's alphabet in their schools.
